Founded by childhood best friends, Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow, The Meatball Shop opened our first location on The Lower Side in 2010. Over the next eight years, we opened six more locations in NYC and are not slowing down anytime soon with plans to grow into additional markets. "The Meatball Shop is more than a company, we are a family - a family made up of employees, guests, vendors and the community. We create an environment where our employees can have fun while being proud of their hard work and we put their needs above anything else. We serve our guests the best food and genuine hospitality as if they were a guest in our own home. We source and treat our vendors with the highest respect. We take care of our neighbors and communities because we are nothing without them. We believe in creativity, individuality, and celebrate those strengths in everything we do. Welcome to our family!"
